At age 29 I was rocked by news that would forever change my life. I stood with my wife in our kitchen and tried to understand what it meant when a little plastic OTC device said the word "pregnant". Many new dads describe a sensation of fear that overcomes them. I felt like the world stopped as a stream of different emotions flowed together in a split second. 3 weeks prior to that day, my wife's doctor explained to us that her womb had issues that would need to be resolved before any baby could be a resident. He said that we were looking at a minimum of 2.5 years before we could even consider getting pregnant! Yet, despite all of his medical confidence that she would not be able to get pregnant, the little stick test was clearly positive.
